Youth Evening Beginner Sailing Course
We run two youth beginner evening courses from 15th April to 17th June and from 14th June to 26th September. The classes are ten 2hr sessions out on Cardiff Bay and will get everyone out on the water and enjoy their first time sailing. These are open to everyone aged 8 - 16, with plenty of opportunities to get in control of their boats while having a great time.
